well, every setup is differant, every motor is of a differant condition, and there are differant climates etc all over the US and canada, so a basemap is nothing more than a way of getting a car running in order to tune. theres no way to know if it will be very safe, or not safe at all. some people will make them very safe which is good if you are going straight to a tuner, and some will try to get it close to perfect by guessing, which can lead to problems. a basemap should never be used to run a car w/out the understanding that its not meant to run the car efficiently or for any period of time.

 

alright i understand now..In tuning with crome which is what im going with if you understand the concept of turbos and engines etc. is using the crome to tune difficult or pretty user friendly ??...one more question what would you guys suggest for a good inexpensive wideband..??

 

well, if you have no experience, and dont know how to read maps, and know proper a/f ratios, and timing curves, its not a great idea to do it yourself w/ out someone watching over you to make sure you dont kill it on the first pull.

 

------- A.

i ran mine from 4500-4800.

 

yea i understand there is no way i would even attempt to do it myself...im just asking to learn the program is it pretty user friendly or is all the steps pretty complicated etc...

 

well, on a basemap i wouldnt. i mean, if i intended on driving on it i would, but just a basemap to get it to the tuner, honestly i wouldnt even hit vtec, so i used the stock setting.

 

Sounds good to me I dont want to blow it up before i get to have some fun....how much power are these motors typically putting down with the setup im going with..done right that is ?

 

tuned you should see anywhere from 150-190whp on 7psi.... good luck, and by the way, TQ is what will make it fun, not the HP.

 

Whats the good luck for dont think it can be done or just hard getting there ?

 

nah man, good luck as in "good luck" hope nothing goes wrong, and it all works out. not a "good luck" as in it will never happen.
